Application June 15, 1953, Serial No. 361,477 1 Claim. (Cl. 1411-235) This invention relates to a combined, portable saw horse and tool chest.

The object of the invention is to produce an improved device of the character stated.

In the accompany drawings:

Fig. l is a perspective View of a combined, portable, saw horse and tool chest embodying the invention, the same being shown in its erected,V or operating position with the tool chest door in open position.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2 2 Fig. 3 is a fragmentary, on line 3 3 on Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is an enlarged, fragmentary view, partly in section and partly in elevation, showing details of construction.

Fig. 5 is a sectional view on line 5-5 on Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is similar to Fig. 5 showing the structure and the manner of operation of one of the legs of the device.

Fig. 7 is a reduced perspective view showing how the on Fig. 1. enlarged, sectional View taken and tool chest and folding legs for supporting the same.

The combined saw horse and tool chest is formed of a bottom wall 10, a top wall 12, end walls 14 and 15 and a rear wall 16. The front of the tool chest is open and a door 18, hinged at 19 and held in closed position by any suitable lock or latch 20 part of which is carried by the door and part of which is carried by the front edge of the top wall 12. The top wall 12 serves to support a piece of wood to be cut 14, 15 and 16 are secured together members 32 which are rigidly seas by being welded to the frame work bottom wall of the chest. Within ber 32 is a tension spring against the underside of in use. Since the structure and operation of all four 2,727,543 Patented Dec. 20, 1955 legs are identical, only one of them will be described n detail. Each leg 34 includes an upper reduced portion 42 which is turned down to form conical portion 44 which terminates in a pin 46 which is suitably attached to the lower end of spring 38. Pin 46 is small enough readily to enter notch 48 in the edge of the lower end 36 of corresponding iiXed hollow member 32. The bottom wall 10 of the chest is provided with clips 50 for receiving and retaining the legs 34 when the latter are in the folded position shown in Fig. 6. The operation is as follows:

To erect the legs into the supporting position of Fig. 2, they are disengaged from clips 50 whereupon. they to a substantial vertical position in which ln order to carry the device around, I provide a handle 52 which is adapted to seat in a recess S4 formed in top is supporting a board to be cut.

What I claim is: Y mi A combined portable saw horse ing a which said side walls, a door for closing said opening, hollow members iixedly carried by, and extending below the bottom of, said receptacle, a tension spring disposed within each of said hollow members and having its upper end connected to the upper end of the hollow member, said References Cited inthe le of this patent UNITED STATES PATENTS
